According to Statesman, senior Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leaders in Jharkhand have asked their local cadres to target school students for recruitment. While taking the decision after several rounds of meeting in the jungles of Saranda and Jhumra Hills, the leaders suggested deep penetration into schools in the rural pockets of Jharkhand and indoctrination of more young minds with "revolutionary ideals", the report added. Chatra district police chief, Sashinath Jha, admitted that Maoists have distributed literature among school students in the rural areas. "We have started investigating the matter. Previously, we got reports that Maoists’ attempts to rope in students in the "Bal Dasta", or children’s brigade. Steps have already been taken to confiscate such literatures from the primary and middle-level schools," Jha informed.

Media reports said that the casualties in the attack by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on the R. Udayagiri sub-jail and other Government establishments in Gajapati district on March 24 has risen to four. In the pre-dawn strike, a group of over 200-armed Maoists, including women and few sympathizers, had attacked the sub-jail in R. Udayagiri town, freed 40 prisoners, killed three police personnel, and took a police officer and the jailor hostage. The Maoists reportedly pulled down the jail gates to help prisoners escape and also simultaneously attacked the police station, an Orissa Special Armed Police Camp, the treasury, the tehsildar’s (local administrative official) office and a telecom tower. The exchange of fire reportedly lasted around two hours. Police said the two who were taken hostage by Maoists were the officer in charge of the police station, Ranjan Kumar Mallick, and the jailor, Rabinarayan Sethi. According to the District Collector, Binod Bihari Mohanty, the Maoists also looted arms from the police station, including 25 self-loading rifles, a pistol, a light machine gun and an AK-47 rifle. The Maoists also burnt stamp papers worth nearly Rupees 40 lakh in the treasury. The Maoists had approached the town from two directions and retreated after the attack via Saralapadar into the deep jungles. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik told the Legislative Assembly on March 24 that the Maoists were believed to have come from the Vizianagaram district of neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. They reportedly conversed in Telugu, Hindi and Soura (a tribal dialect). Media reports added that in a related incident, one civilian was killed and nine others were injured in a landmine blast at Kankadaguda, 10 kilometers from R. Udaygiri, while clearing the trees from the roads. The landmine was reportedly planted by the Maoists while retreating.

Hindu reports that in a status paper on the Naxalite problem placed in Parliament by Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil on March 13, the Government has spelt out a policy to combat the challenge posed by the Naxalites. The 14-point policy stresses upon the States to adopt a collective approach and pursue a coordinated response to counter it. It emphasizes that there will be no peace dialogue by the affected States with the Naxalite groups unless the latter agree to give up violence and arms. Another component of the policy is that it asks political parties to strengthen their base in Naxalite-affected areas so that the youth could be weaned away from the path of Naxalite ideology. "Efforts will continue to be made to promote local resistance groups against Naxalites but in a manner that the villagers are provided adequate security cover and the area is effectively dominated by the security forces," the status paper said. The paper lauded the Andhra Pradesh Government's surrender and rehabilitation policy for Naxalites, which has produced good results over the years. It asked other States to adopt a similar policy. Referring to the counter measures, it said that overall counter action by the affected States in terms of Naxalites killed, arrested, surrendered and arms recovered from them has shown much better results in 2005. It underlined the need to further improve and strengthen police response, particularly by Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and Maharashtra by improving actionable intelligence collection and sharing mechanisms and strengthening their police forces on the pattern of Greyhounds in Andhra Pradesh. It also said the Centre had provided financial assistance of Rs. 2,475 crores for 55 Naxalite-affected districts in Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal under the Backward Districts Initiative. While admitting that Naxalite groups have been raising land and livelihood related issues, the paper stresses upon taking up land reforms on a priority basis. In the first two months of this year, the number of deaths recorded in Naxalite-violence stands at 116, the paper added.

Meanwhile, Maoists in Jharkhand are funding poor people to set up Public Distribution System shops to ensure supply of food grains deep inside their jungle bases, according to Indo Asian News Service.

According to Home Ministry officials, property worth Rs.116.7 million was damaged by Maoists in the first six months of 2006, almost double the figure for the whole of 2005. A detailed break-up of the list of Maoist-related incidents, compiled by the ministry, reveals that Chhattisgarh was the worst affected among the 10 States with property alone worth Rs.92.3 million destroyed. "Of the 806 Maoist-related incidents till June this year, Chhattisgarh witnessed 360 incidents, in which 190 civilians and 54 security personnel were killed. The unfortunate part is that violence is steadily increasing," said a senior ministry official. Jharkhand witnessed 169 incidents, Andhra Pradesh, 104, and Bihar, 63. In all these states, property worth Rs.15 million was destroyed till June in 2006. In 2004, property worth Rs.64.7 million was destroyed due to Maoist violence across the country and in 2005, the figure was Rs.57.1 million. "Usually, the damage inflicted on security personnel camps, police stations, jeeps and government buildings are factored in while totalling up the sum," said ministry sources. The ministry maintained that while Maoist violence had gone down by 12 percent in the first six months of 2006, the number of deaths had increased by 16 percent during the period under review.

An agenda paper prepared by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) for the September 5 conclave of Chief Ministers on internal security, says that cross-border terrorism has spread to the hinterland and infiltration, in comparison to the same period last year, has trebled. Indian Express quoting from the agenda paper reports that Pakistan still continues to aid and abet terrorism and terrorist groups, particularly the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), are targeting India with the help of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). The total number of infiltration have doubled from 21 (January-July 2005) to 50 (January-July 2006) while the number of infiltration foiled have declined during the same period. According to the paper, cross-border infiltration has nearly trebled from 170 (January-July, 2005) to 476 (January-July, 2006). The number of grenade attacks in Jammu and Kashmir (January-July 2006) total 176. Although the MHA claims that the total number of incidents involving Naxalites between January-July 2006 have gone down to 930 as compared to 1039 during January-July 2005, the number of casualties has increased from 407 to 487 during the same period. The agenda paper says Naxalites are now organising themselves on military lines.
